The rebranding efforts are very gradual due to me being stubborn and wanting to do it all myself; today I have made a webcame frame, a new logo for twitch, and a logo for everywhere else online! Original logo done by @enka2040.bsky.social

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”? Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.” Stop playing Fortnite.

Here we go again: a #MutualAid 🧵 There are many people more worthwhile than me, but I need to ask for help. Again. I'm in arrears on my credit cards and maybe 2 loans,. I'm eating 1 meal a day, I missed last month's rent, and I think a tyre on my car has a slow puncture; maybe 2 tyres.

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time

NEW SCRIBE ALERT! Alistair Rey joins HORRIFIC SCRIBES with "Snails," a small horror story about a big problem. Icky. Slimy. With absurd humor, if you can laugh at that sort of thing. Great fun. Read for free at horrificscribblings.com #horrorstories #snails #creaturefeatures #absurdist

I don't have my fellow Chaos Viking with me today, so there won't be an Enshrouded stream tonight, I'm afraid! However I am considering doing a mid-afternoon Winters Dreams, with some writing and some rebrand spitballing, so keep an eye on the socials for going live notifs!

This Christmas, give a gift that can change lives. ✨ Across the UK, thousands of trans+ people face years-long waitlists and barriers to the care they need. We’re asking you to donate to our Christmas fundraiser. Even £5 can make a difference. anne.health/christmas/ #CareForXmas

AI literally ruins everything. It ruins LITERALLY EVERYTHING, even the things that DONT HAVE AI.

The results are in! I've tallied up the votes across all socials, and believe it or not, we had a tie! So I'm changing my channel name to Winters Chills, and from now on you can find me at twitch.tv/winters_chills. Keep your eye out over the next few days as I rebrand!

Yo please take a look at my friend's Remembering Kevin Conroy episode of his podcast where he talks about meeting and working with the man, it's a touching tribute. Conroy really was a gentleman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzm-...

It's normal to feel guilty when you can only feel disappointment that your blood tests say there's nothing wrong with you... right? Uveitis 3 times in as many years... and no underlying causes? At all? Not a one? I'm tired.

Wow, this must be one of the most popular things I've ever posted on here, guess I hit upon a sentiment a lot of people were feeling? So, can you do me a favour? Advocate for the art you love. Talk about it, uplift it, introduce it to others, leave reviews. Let's not just focus on the negative.

Hello please vote on my poll! Im almost decided under my own steam, but I like knowing what other people think

I do not understand authors, broadcasters, voice artists, YouTubers, ANY creative artists using quick and cheap AI for their cover images and not realising: it will be you next.

Me at midnight: gosh im sleepy! Off to bed! Me 4 hours later, having not slept a damned wink: ok brain im gonna be honest, I'm not convinced you heard me the first time

Love this so much. 💜

The Big Green Books Advent Calendar. Choose from 4, 6 or 12 books. Unwrap a surprise book every few days in the run up to Christmas. Each book will be individually picked based on what you enjoy reading. Info HERE. www.biggreenbookshop.com/simon-likes-... PLEASE SHARE. Ends tomorrow.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Rainbow Flock is also ready! fairyloguepress.com/products/rai...

Preview!! ⭐🦊❤️

The rate SNRIs metabolise is astonishing; I got home at about 5pm, took my meds straight away, and 6 hours on I'm starting to feel a lot more level again. I've also set up an emergency pill pot with a 5-day supply that is going to live in my suitcase. Do NOT forget your meds. Don't do it.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.

I’m excited to share my finished Moomin Ancestor sculpt. He dwells inside the Moomin family’s stove, and is thought to be an ancient ancestor of Moomintroll. 🌙

A nom-exhaustive list of things that has made my unmedicated ass cry this weekend: - Hazbin hotel - KPop Demon Hunters - Critical Role - My own writing (twice) - Surprise cooked breakfast - In fact most home cooked meals Don't forget your meds kids you will have a fucking TIME 🫠

"People at an abbey of the faith that gave us the devil in the first place might be offended by an image of the devil!" Do these people hear themselves? Also that's not the devil. Do Xtians really think the devil is depicted with pan-pipes?

Visiting my patner and forgetting to pack the meds that help regulate my mental state sure was A Choice. Well done, me. Hey did you know that SNRIs have a MUCH shorter half-life than SSRIs and will wear off within a day?? I am raw-dogging reality right now and friends, I am having A Time! #BPD

Desperate to support one of the many authors screwed by Unbound? Here's one who's doing a giveaway! I'd like to win one, but I'd like it more if the book did so well it undid the damage done.

Oh this is a terrible thing to show up on my timeline as I recover from Uveitis 🤣

YES

Me: THIS SCENE I'M WRITING ISNT GOOD ENOUGH brain: it's fine. Remember? Just make it, you can make it good later! Me: NO IT HAS TO BE GOOD Brain: ITS THE FIRST DRAFT IT DOESN'T MATTER Me: AAAAAA Brain: AAAAAAAAA

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Decided last night that I should cross-post to Ko-Fi again, so as of today, everything that goes up on Patreon, also goes up on Ko-Fi! Memberships tier prices stay the same on each platform as well. patreon.com/fenwintersta... ko-fi.com/fenwintersta... #Writing #WritersofBlueSky #WriteSky

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Today's bread. Two two-pound loaves. (Note - I don't bake everyday. We can't get through two stone of bread a week between us - I reckon I do it every ten days or so) #Baking #Bread #Loaves

Ignoring the pathetic, tragic jingoism of popping a bunch of nylon flags on the posts of road signage along a bypass, but these are such obvious hazards it should genuinely merit a national restraining order on the flag twats.

Gotta love that spider-sense! #spider-sense #spider #webcomic

Please run, not walk, and check out this article. Siren's Oath is something a bit special.

Rosalind Franklin was only 37 when she died of ovarian cancer and she had ALREADY discovered the shape of DNA. She did not live to see her erasure by the Nobel committee in 1962. Anyway, fuck this guy and restore funding to the cancer moonshot, so the next Rosalind Franklin can live.

Wow, who knew we were gonna *need* to colonize another Earthlike planet just to raise enough popcorn...! 😏

BEWARE!! I'm getting near-daily spam emails promising sales/reviews in exchange for PDFs of my books. NEVER GIVE A PDF OF YOUR WORK TO A STRANGER! They'll upload it to every pirate site on the net and/or change the title, make a new cover, and sell it as their own on Amazon. #BookSky #IndieAuthors
